Eldorado Gold Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
(Unaudited – in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1. General Information
Eldorado Gold Corporation (individually or collectively with its subsidiaries, as applicable, “Eldorado” or the “Company”) is a gold and base metals mining, development, and exploration company. The Company has mining operations, ongoing development projects and exploration in Turkey, Canada, Greece, Romania, Brazil and Serbia.
Eldorado is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and is incorporated in the province of British Columbia, Canada.
The Company's head office, principal address and records are located at 550 Burrard Street, Suite 1188, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2B5.
2. Basis of preparation
a) | Statement of compliance |
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Except as described in note 3, the same accounting policies were used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as for the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all the adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with IFRS for the interim periods presented.
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 31, 2019.
b) | Judgment and estimates |
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company applies judgment to determine the date on which a mine development property enters the commercial production stage. On March 31, 2019, the Company declared commercial production at the Lamaque mine, having reached certain milestones. Commercial production represents the point at which the group of assets were able to operate as intended by management. Upon declaring commercial production, Lamaque recognizes all revenue and costs in profit or loss. Prior to March 31, 2019, costs incurred for construction, development and commissioning of the mine, net of pre-commercial sales, were recognized within mineral property in property, plant and equipment.
All other significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

(Unaudited – in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
3. Adoption of new accounting standards
The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been adopted by the Company commencing January 1, 2019:
a)IFRS 16 ‘Leases’
IFRS 16 introduces a single accounting model for lessees. The Company, as lessee, is required to recognize a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Company was permitted to elect to not apply IFRS 16 to leases with a term of less than 12 months, which election is made by the underlying class of assets to which the right of use asset relates, or leases where the underlying asset is of low value, which election is made on an asset by asset basis. The accounting treatment for lessors remains largely the same as under IAS 17 'Leases'.
The Company adopted this standard from January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 has not been restated.
Previously, the Company determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under IFRIC 4, ‘Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease’. On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company now assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient permitted by the standard to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed using the definition of a lease under IFRS 16. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.
The Company leases various assets including equipment, offices and properties that had previously been classified as operating leases under IAS 17. On adoption of IFRS 16, liabilities for these leases were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 13.1%. The Company elected to measure the right-of-use assets for these leases at amounts equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments recognized in the statement of financial position on December 31, 2018.
On initial adoption, the Company used the following practical expedients as permitted by the standard when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17.
• | Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with low value. |
• | Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term remaining. |
• | Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics (such as leases in a similar economic environment). |
• | Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application. |
• | Used hindsight, such as in determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. |
The Company also leases various equipment that had previously been classified as finance leases under IAS 17. For these finance leases, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at January 1, 2019 were determined at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17 immediately before that date.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company excluded certain arrangements which management concluded were not within the scope of IFRS 16 because they are arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land. A reconciliation of lease commitments previously reported and the amount of the lease liability recognized is as follows:

Operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018 | $ | 64,690 | |
Exclusion of arrangements to explore for or use minerals | (53,186 | ) | |

The following is the new accounting policy for leases under IFRS 16:
A contract is or contains a lease when the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and is adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability. The cost of the right of use asset includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs; and if applicable, an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

3. Adoption of new accounting standards (continued)
The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Company applies judgment to determine the lease term for some lease contracts which contain renewal options.
The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets, leases with lease terms that are less than 12 months and arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land. Lease payments associated with these arrangements are instead recognized as an expense over the term on either a straight-line basis, or another systematic basis if more representative of the pattern of benefit. The Company applies judgment in determining whether an arrangement grants the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land.
b) | IFRIC 23 'Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments' |
This interpretation sets out how to determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. At January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard and there was no material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(a) Senior Secured Second Lien Notes
On June 5, 2019, the Company completed an offering of $300 million senior secured second lien notes (the "senior secured notes”) at 98% of par value, with a coupon rate of 9.5% due June 1, 2024. The senior secured notes pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, beginning December 1, 2019. The Company received $287.1 million from the offering, which is net of the original issue discount of $6,000, commission payment and certain transaction costs paid to or on behalf of the lenders totaling $6,903. The debt is also presented net of transaction costs of $2,636 incurred directly by the Company in conjunction with the offering. The original discount, commission payment and transaction costs will be amortized over the term of the senior secured notes and included as finance costs. Net proceeds from the senior secured notes were used to redeem in part the Company’s outstanding $600 million 6.125% senior notes due December 15, 2020.
The senior secured notes are secured on a second lien basis by a general security agreement from the Company by the Company’s real property in Canada and shares of SG Resources B.V., Tüprag Metal, Eldorado Gold (Greece) BV, Integra Gold Corp. and Integra Gold (Québec) Inc., all wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The senior secured notes are redeemable by the Company in whole or in part, for cash:
i) | At any time prior to December 1, 2021 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes, accrued and unpaid interest and a premium at the greater of 1% of the principal value of the notes to be redeemed, or the present value of remaining interest to December 1, 2021 discounted at the treasury yield plus 50 basis points. |
ii) | On and after the dates provided below, at the redemption prices, expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior secured notes: |
December 1, 2021 107.125%
December 1, 2022 and thereafter 100.000%
The redemption features described above constitute an embedded derivative which was separately recognized at its fair value of $1,373 on initial recognition of the senior secured notes and recorded in other assets. The embedded derivative is classified as fair value through profit and loss. The change in fair value between the initial recognition date and September 30, 2019 was not significant.
The senior secured notes contain covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur certain capital expenditures, distributions in certain circumstances and sales of material assets, in each case, subject to certain conditions. The Company is in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2019.
The fair market value of the senior secured notes as at September 30, 2019 is $325 million.

(b) Senior Secured Credit Facility
In November 2012, the Company entered into a $375 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The credit facility was amended and restated in June 2016 (the "amended and restated credit agreement” or “ARCA”) and reduced to an available credit of $250 million with the option to increase by an additional $100 million through an accordion feature. In May 2019, the Company executed a $450 million amended and restated senior secured credit facility (“the third amended and restated credit agreement” or “TARCA”), replacing the ARCA. The TARCA consists of the following:
i) | A $200 million non-revolving term loan with six equal semi-annual payments commencing June 30, 2020. The term loan was used to redeem in part the Company’s outstanding $600 million 6.125% senior notes due December 2020. |
ii) | A $250 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 5, 2024. |
As at September 30, 2019, the Company has outstanding EUR 57.7 million ($62.8 million) in non-financial letters of credit. In October 2019, an additional CAD 0.4 million ($0.3 million) in non-financial letters of credit were outstanding. The non-financial letters of credit were issued to secure certain obligations in connection with the Company's operations. The non-financial letters of credit reduce availability under the revolving credit facility by corresponding amounts. Concurrent to the establishment of the facility, $10.6 million of restricted cash was released that had previously been held to secure letters of credit.
The TARCA contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional unsecured indebtedness except in compliance with certain conditions, incur certain lease obligations, make distributions in certain circumstances, sell material assets or carry on a business other than one related to mining. Significant financial covenants include a minimum Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) to interest ratio and a maximum debt net of unrestricted cash ("net debt") to EBITDA ratio ("net leverage ratio"). The Company is in compliance with its covenants at September 30, 2019.
Both the term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% – 3.25%, dependent on a net leverage ratio pricing grid. The Company’s current interest charges and fees are as follows: LIBOR plus margin of 3.25% on the term loan and any amounts drawn from the revolving credit facility, LIBOR plus margin of 2.17% on non-financial letters of credit secured by the revolving credit facility and 0.8125% standby fees on the available and undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility.
The TARCA is secured on a first lien basis by a general security agreement from the Company, the Company's real property in Canada and shares of SG Resources B.V., Tüprag Metal, Eldorado Gold (Greece) BV, Integra Gold Corp. and Integra Gold (Québec) Inc., all wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The term loan is presented net of transaction costs of $2,615 incurred in conjunction with the amendment. The transaction costs will be amortized over the term of the term loan and included in finance costs.
Fees of $3,269 relating to the undrawn revolving credit facility have been recorded in other assets and will be amortized over the term of the TARCA. As at September 30, 2019, the prepaid loan cost was $3,005 (December 31, 2018 – $749). $524 of unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the ARCA were expensed as interest and financing costs on the amendment date (note 8(b)).
No amounts were drawn down under the revolving credit facility in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and as at September 30, 2019, the balance is nil.
(c) Senior Notes
On December 10, 2012, the Company completed an offering of $600 million senior notes (“the 2012 notes”) at par value, with a coupon rate of 6.125% due December 15, 2020. The 2012 notes paid interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15. The 2012 notes were redeemed in whole for cash by the Company on June 12, 2019 using proceeds from the senior secured notes and the TARCA term loan, together with cash on hand. $18,069 of accrued interest was also paid upon redemption. $3,035 of unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the 2012 notes were expensed as interest and financing costs upon redemption (note 8(b)).

10. Share-based payments (continued)
(b) Restricted share unit plan
The Company has a Restricted Share Unit Plan (“RSU” plan) whereby restricted share units may be granted to senior management of the Company. The current maximum number of common shares authorized for issue under the RSU plan is 5,000,000. As at September 30, 2019, 377,862 common shares purchased by the Company remain held in trust in connection with this plan and have been included in treasury stock within equity on the consolidated statement of financial position.
Currently, the Company has two types of RSUs:
i.RSU with no performance criteria
These RSUs are exercisable into one common share once vested, entitling the holder to receive the common share for no additional consideration. They vest as follows: one third on the first anniversary of the grant date, one third on the second anniversary of the grant date and one third on the third anniversary of the grant date. RSUs with no performance criteria terminate on the third anniversary of the grant date. All vested RSUs which have not been redeemed by the date of termination are automatically redeemed. Such RSUs may be redeemed by the holder in shares or cash, with cash redemptions subject to the approval of the Board.
A total of 391,092 RSUs with no performance criteria with an average grant-date fair value of Cdn$5.68 per unit were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 under this plan. The fair value of each RSU issued is determined as the closing share price at grant date.
A summary of the status of the RSUs with no performance criteria and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:
2019 | 2018 | |||
At January 1, | 333,119 | 341,198 | ||
Granted | 391,092 | 210,990 | ||
Redeemed | (130,281 | ) | (181,491 | ) |
Forfeited | (17,766 | ) | (30,543 | ) |
At September 30, | 576,164 | 340,154 |
As at September 30, 2019, 36,424 restricted share units are fully vested and exercisable (December 31, 2018 – 29,371).
ii. RSU with performance criteria

Purchase obligations relate primarily to mine development expenditures at Olympias and mine operating costs at Kisladag. Upon adoption of IFRS 16, leases for various assets including equipment, offices and properties that had previously been classified as operating or financing leases under IAS 17 have been combined into a single classification line above. Mineral properties refer to arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land. The table does not include interest on debt.

13. Financial instruments by category
Fair values are determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market, when available, or by using a valuation technique that uses inputs observed from relevant markets.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 2 – Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, but do not qualify as Level 1 inputs (i.e., quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities). |
• | Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). |
Assets measured at fair value as at September 30, 2019 include marketable securities of $3,357 (December 31, 2018 – $2,572), comprised of publicly-traded equity investments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, settlement receivables of $34,094 (December 31, 2018 – $5,243) arising from provisional pricing in contracts for the sale of metals in concentrate classified as fair value through profit and loss, and a derivative asset of $1,373 related to redemption options associated with the senior secured notes classified as fair value through profit and loss. Changes in the fair value of settlement receivables are recorded in revenue. No liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at September 30, 2019.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the date of the statement of financial position. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. The Company's marketable securities are included in Level 1. Instruments included in Level 2 comprise settlement receivables, the derivative asset and the fair market value of the Company's senior secured notes (note 6(a)). The fair value of settlement receivables is determined based on forward metal prices for the quotational period; the fair value of the Company’s derivative asset is based on models using observable interest rate inputs and the fair value of the Company’s senior secured notes is based on observable prices in inactive markets. For all other financial instruments, carrying amounts approximate fair value.
14. Disposal group held for sale
In June 2019, management committed to a plan to sell its Vila Nova iron ore mine in Brazil, which was placed on care and maintenance in late 2014 pending a recovery in iron ore prices. Accordingly, the mine is presented as a disposal group held for sale. Efforts to sell the disposal group are underway and a sale is expected within the next twelve months.
As at September 30, 2019, the disposal group was stated at fair value less costs to sell and comprised the following assets and liabilities.
September 30, 2019 | ||||
Cash | $ | 263 | ||
Accounts receivable and other | 638 | |||
Property, plant and equipment and iron ore inventory | 11,690 | |||
Assets held for sale | $ | 12,591 | ||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | $ | 112 | ||
Asset retirement obligations | 4,095 | |||
Liabilities associated with assets held for sale | $ | 4,207 |

14. Disposal group held for sale (continued)
Impairment charges of $34,443 were applied to Vila Nova property, plant and equipment and iron ore inventory in 2015, reducing the carrying value to $nil. As a result of the plan to sell Vila Nova, the Company recorded an impairment reversal of $11,690 in June 2019 to record the property, plant and equipment and iron ore inventory at its estimated fair value of $9,000. At September 30, 2019, the fair value measurement for the disposal group was reduced to $8,384, corresponding to a decrease in working capital. The fair value measurement for the disposal group has been categorized as a Level 3 fair value based on the expected consideration of a sale.
15. Segment information
Identification of reportable segments
The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief executive officer and the executive management (the chief operating decision makers or CODM) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The CODM consider the business from both a geographic and product perspective and assess the performance of the operating segments based on measures of profit and loss as well as assets and liabilities. These measures include operating profit, expenditures on exploration, property, plant and equipment and non-current assets, as well as total debt. As at September 30, 2019, Eldorado had six reportable segments based on the geographical location of mining and exploration and development activities.
Geographical segments
Geographically, the operating segments are identified by country and by operating mine or mine under construction. The Turkey reporting segment includes the Kişladağ and the Efemçukuru mines and exploration activities in Turkey. The Canada reporting segment includes the Lamaque mine and exploration activities in Canada. The Greece reporting segment includes the Stratoni and Olympias mines, the Skouries, Perama Hill and Sapes projects and exploration activities in Greece. The Romania reporting segment includes the Certej project and exploration activities in Romania. The Brazil reporting segment includes the Vila Nova mine, Tocantinzinho project and exploration activities in Brazil. Other reporting segment includes operations of Eldorado’s corporate office and exploration activities in other countries.
Financial information about each of these operating segments is reported to the CODM on a monthly basis. The mines in each of the different reporting segments share similar economic characteristics and have been aggregated accordingly.
